  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 12 muffins 1x

Description

  • Make-ahead egg muffins are a protein-packed, customizable breakfast perfect for busy mornings. Easy to prepare, nutritious, and great for meal prep.

 


Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 large eggs
  • ¼ cup milk (any type)
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your favorite)
  • ½ cup cooked and crumbled bacon, sausage, or diced ham (optional)
  • ½ cup diced bell peppers
  • ¼ cup chopped spinach or kale
  • ¼ cup diced onions
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
  • Cooking spray or muffin liners

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Oven and Muffin Tin
    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray or line it with silicone muffin liners for easy removal.
  2. Whisk the Eggs
    In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and garlic powder (if using) until well combined.
  3. Add Fillings
    Evenly distribute the diced bell peppers, onions, spinach, cheese, and cooked meat (if using) among the muffin cups.
  4. Pour in the Egg Mixture
    Carefully pour the egg mixture into each muffin cup, filling about ¾ of the way full. Stir gently with a fork to ensure even distribution of ingredients.
  5. Bake
    Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18–22 minutes, or until the egg muffins are set and slightly golden on top.
  6. Cool and Serve
    Allow the egg muffins to cool for a few minutes before removing them from the tin. Serve immediately or store for later.

Notes

  • Spicy: Add diced jalapeños and a pinch of cayenne pepper.
